[59][60] After a quick study of radiology, anatomy, and automotive mechanics she procured X-ray equipment, vehicles, auxiliary generators, and developed mobile radiography units, which came to be popularly known as petites Curies ("Little Curies").

Influenced by these two important discoveries, Curie decided to look into uranium rays as a possible field of research for a thesis. By 1898 the Curies had obtained traces of radium, but appreciable quantities, uncontaminated with barium, were still beyond reach.

In 1895 she married the French physicist Pierre Curie, and she shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with him and with the physicist Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work developing the theory of "radioactivity"a term she coined. Wilma was born into a family with 22 brothers and sisters, in the segregated South. Once Langevin-Joliot arrived, she was given a whirlwind tour of CERN and Thoiry, visiting ATLAS, AMS, NA62 and, later in the week, ISOLDE, CMS, the synchrocyclotron and LHCb. Nobel Prize Recipient. [32] They were unaware of the deleterious effects of radiation exposure attendant on their continued unprotected work with radioactive substances. Family, Pierre and Marie Curie with their daughter Irne, c. 1904, shortly after the couple had shared the Nobel Prize in Physics.
